Most people are thrilled on their first day of university.Endless imaginations and expectations of a totally different life.Away from home,far from supervision, with Noone to have a say in their life's decisions,"free"they call it.But to some it's just another cycle of life that they have to go through,just another obstacle they must overcome to reach their final destination "death".while others are exitedly looking around the University trying to figure out where to explore next,making sure every corner,every spot,not even a single one is missed by any chance,Every club there is to look at and join,Am just standing here, trying to figure out where to register,praying that I don't attract any kind of attention,not someone trying make friends,not a senior offering assistance,not anyone asking for help,Noone.
I want to be ignored,like I don't exist.
Just a breeze of wind passing by,
Can't be see,can't be touched.
I lowered my head, clenched to the hands of my bag tightly, walking slowly but steadily occasionally looking around,'just being cautious 'so I don't look lost and someone approaches trying to help.
"Sorry"Said the seemingly clumsy person who had just bumped into me.
"Hhm"I barely got my voice out, trying to assure the person that there was
No problem and hurriedly try to leave.
I felt a cold hand on my wrist.
Trying to prevent me from leaving
I stared at it.
My mind was being flooded by thoughts.
"Who'd I offend this time?,why couldn't I just walk straight? why'd I bump into him? Is he going to beat me up for it?I should apologise"
I slowly lifted my eyes until my gaze met his.
"Sorry"I mumbled,
"..iit..was..my... fault.
I took the blame trying to end matters.
"Ooh,it's ok"
The other party reassured.
I almost couldn't believe it,
This words were new. Noone had ever said them to me before.
I looked at his face trying to make out his expression.
Figuring he might be saying that before punching me on the face.
'I always expect the worse'
His expression wasn't mad at all
It seemed friendly and assuring with a visible smile as if trying not to scare
Me.
All new to someone like me who was barely approached with pure intentions.
I stared at him waiting for his next
action.
"You are a freshman?"he asked as he looked at my uniform.
"Uuh...yes"
"So are we "he said while pointing to his friend who was all along standing behind him.
"Hhm"I shook my head.
"Have you registered yet?"
"..Aah...no'
"We've already been there we can take you if you want"the friend who had been quite finally spoke.
"Ooh I forgot to introduce myself.
Am sea and my friend right here is wave"the guy finally let go of my hand and pointed to himself and his friend simultaneously.
"...Aah...my name is...
I hesitated,
' I tend to be alot cautious around people'
It's just something about me.
But they look at me with eager eyes
As they waited for me to say my name.
"Sky"
I don't know why I said that but something about them made me feel
'warm'
A kind of feeling I haven't felt in a long time.
I don't know how to name it,
But it was a nice.
So I gave it a go.
"Ooh, we'll take you to register"
"Hhm"
I flinched as
Sea wrapped his hand around my shoulder and wave immediately pulled his hand away.
"You just met,can you have some respects"wave scolded him.
"We're friends now"
He put his hand back on my shoulder
And wave pulled him away again.
"Ok,fine"
He sounded defeated.
Some few steps later we were there.
Not that far.
'I registered.'
"You are studying art?"
"Hhm"
"So are we!"sea almost screamed.
Good thing he has wave as a friend,
He always remembers to slap his head back to reality when he's being too dramatic.
"Hhm"I nodded.
"We are heading to the cafeteria to eat lunch,
Want to join?"
"Yeah, yeah,yeah,join us.
Please,please,pleeeeeese?
Come on,join us pleeeeeese"
Even though I wanted to decline
With all that pleading from sea
"Hhm"'i gave in'
I barely talked,not because I can't
But because I don't want to mess things up with just one sentence.
So I kept my mouth shut.
I could feel their efforts trying to involve me in their conversation.
Sea was a yapper,he talked none stop.
Wave would occasionally confirm his words to me with a simple
'yeah'
It's from his continues yapping that I got to know they were childhood friends,and ,that sea often got into trouble because of his mouth.
"What are you eating?"
"Anything is fine"
"Ohh come ooonn"
"Are you going to order!alot of people are waiting to order,if you don't want to eat go somewhere else, don't hold back the line!"
We got scolded by the aunty.
"Ooh come on beautiful,don't ruin your pretty face because of us .well just have three plates of fried rice"
The complement had the aunty smiling and slightly blushing you could tell she was pleased.
I felt unease.
As if someone was staring at me.
Am never wrong,my intuitions are always right.
I stared feeling uncomfortable,so I slowly looked around.
My eyes met his,
He was staring,I stared back,for a moment everything seemed to stop.
No sound could be heard, nothing else could be seen except for this tall, neat,fine-skinned, senior. Who looked unhumaly handsome, describing him is similar to describing an angel who possessed no wings.A human who possessed such beauty I impossible.but there he was
looking at me,but there is something in his ocean-like eyes, something I can't figure out.
"Heeey,you ok?"
I was shaken back to reality.
"Uu..hh...Am... okey"
"You sure?,you were zoning out just now"
"Hhm"
"Shocked?"
"Huh?
"Are you shocked by senior Tharn's handsome face?"
"Who"
"Tharn,he's the mast famous guy in the University,and he's also very rich,his family is loaded,and his two friends,Top and Ren are also from rich family.
Every girl wants to date them because
They will inherit everything from their families when the graduate.
But.they are heart breakers and don't date anyone for more than one month.
The longest they've dated is a month...and ..uuh...well...one day."
"Oohh,sea!
So nosy!
How'd you get this information?
Huh?"
"Well I've got my source "
So his name is Tharn.
